Actually Mike Broadbent and I have been planning to play Dirtside in
SGII
scale for some time now. (that is, everything in 25mm). We are building
quite a huge infantry force between us and have lots of vehicles slowly
accumulating (OK most of them are kits from other SciFi stuff- the
legacy of
years of Anime related kit collecting).
We are planning to play in a local multifloor carpark where we know the
management ( and which has rarely used upper floors). Admiitedly we have
dreaming about this for several years but Mike's crazy enough to keep
pushing towards it. I guess I'd better keep painting. Local legend has
it
that I own the world's finest and largest unpainted figure collection!
If (or should I say when) we ever get this off the ground we will post
photos.

PLEASE if you are Australian DO NOT start hassling Mike and I to get
involved. This will make the event less likely to happen.
